Hello all.

Hope you are all well.

Would any of you be, or perhaps know any former RN Buccaneer air & ground crew who might be interested in being interviewed by myself for a short documentary for Military Aviation TV?

I already have some Phantom air & ground crew but I'm lacking guys from the 'Bucc' era.

The short film, which is called ''Ark's Angels'', will take a look at the carrier strike capability of HMS Ark Royal IV and will use some very rare, and some unseen footage that has been given to me to use.

If any of you have any old cine film, or knows someone who might have some, please let me know.

Thank you all in advance for your time, very much appreciated.

Promo is here; https://youtu.be/aWn5yVMx10o

Ah, Mr Bolton, had a feeling that's who you meant.

He is a great guy, a wealth of information and always very helpful.

When you get the chance , ask him how you spell " Archibald A---holes " . Ensure suitable libation provided beforehand https://www.pprune.org/images/infopop/icons/icon7.gif

(p.s best of luck with the project . Ark Royal and embarked contingent marked a truly great era in UK naval aviation.
p.p.s as an aside , presumably you have read Phoenix Squadron by Rowland White )

Thanks Phantom Driver, I will ask him. If I get a black eye, I'll blame you! :ok:

Yes, I've read Phoenix Squadron a few times, and it's a great read.

Thank you for your help.
